Fancy That by Bert Ligon. For jazz ensemble. This edition: Trumpet range to E6. Calypso, Jazz, Funk. Level 4. Score and set of parts. Published by UNC Jazz Press (NC.691).
(Level IV) A fun, calypso/funk tune with room for an alto solo. A marimba part is included. After the solo section, the rhythm section plays funky stop time for a new theme stated by the trombones. The groove resumes under the new theme and leads back to the recapitulation of the original theme. The second theme returns with piano alone and builds to the end with alto sax soloing through the end. A foot-tapper and audience pleaser; they will sing as they leave the concert. Ending has optional higher note for capable trumpet sections. 8 Brass.

Red With Blue Accents by Bert Ligon. For jazz ensemble (solos for trombone and trumpet). This edition: Trumpet range to D6. Blues, Waltz, Latin, Jazz, Swing, Medium. Level 5. Score and set of parts. Published by UNC Jazz Press (NC.700).
(Level V) This is what you get when you mix blues with a Latin feel. The fast waltz begins and ends in 4/4, yet feels just right. Trombone and trumpet play the line in octaves. Two choruses of ensemble build to a rhythmically exciting kick off to the trombone solo. The ensemble returns as a transition to the trumpet solo. The band metrically modulates to a slower 4/4 as a change of pace from the fast 3/4 and shifts back to the fast waltz in the middle of the trumpet solo. Then, the band overlaps the last trumpet solo and returns to the original theme. The two soloists trade eights at the end before a climax in 4/4. A final chord is like an afterglow, hangover heat remaining after the burning chart. 8 Brass.

Contento by Mundell Lowe. For guitar ensemble. Latin, Jazz, Samba. Score and set of parts. Published by UNC Jazz Press (NC.730).
A spirited, slow samba that must be played with a Latin feel. More percussion instruments than indicated on the score could be used.

Hope Rising by Jim McNeely. For big band. This edition: Trumpet range to F6. 6/4 time signature, Even 8ths, Odd Meter, Jazz. Level 5. Score and set of parts. Published by UNC Jazz Press (NC.877).
(Level V) This piece was commissioned by the Des Moines Big Band (led by trumpeter Jim Oatts), and recorded by them on their CD D.S.M. Big Band...In the Red. The groove is 6/4 even eighth notes. The solo sections employ modern, post be-bop harmony which will challenge an aggressive soloist (tenor sax, trumpet). Much of the bass part is vamp-oriented; a strong-reading bass player should really eat it up! 9 Brass.
